Copy to Library using the Nix App

The Nix Pro Color Sensor App gives users the ability to create custom databases and copy them directly to the Color Library on the user’s app. If the user has a fan deck or other color samples they would like to match to. In the below example, a custom database is created from a fan deck:

1. Scan the first color for the database. Place the Nix Pro firmly on the color sample/ swatch you would like to scan to block out all ambient light to achieve the best scan.
